Firecrackers!: An Eye-Popping Collection of Chinese Firework Art Hardcover – January 1, 2008

Thanks so much for this beautiful book. It's in great condition and my husband was thrilled with it. It's hard to find little "no reason" gifts for a grown man...but he loves the artwork and is really enjoying this book. Great vendor...thanks again

Warren Dotz has put together a real feast of color and gaudy wonderful. If you remember buying these marvels from the black market guy behind the toy store or the pharmacy, you will love them.

This is an almost pocket-sized, thin book that consists of full-page pictures and virtually no text. If you've already purchased "Firecrackers: The Art and History," which is a great book, dense with writing and pictures, by the same authors, buying this book will disappoint.

If you like fireworks,then this little book will make you smile.The Chinese besides inventing fireworks(gun powder).Have a long history of some of the most 'interesting' consumer firework/firecracker label art on their packaging for many years.Firecracker labels are collectible & many are worth hundreds to thousands of $.

It's a great little book for all firecracker labels collector young and old. A must-have guide for the Chinese-made fireworks in the 20th century. It is nicely divided into various catagory of labels such as jungle animals, children, sea life, outer space, wild, wild west, bombs, architecture, flying feathers, etc. This books consists of mainly pictures only. There isn't any description. There is another book by these same authors, Dotz, Mingo, and Moyer. It's called Firecrackers, The Art and History. That book goes into more details with a little description of the label. Both books are good to have. It makes a great gift for the fireworks fan that appreciates old Chinese art.

Great

This book is a nice supplement to Firecrackers: The Art and History, which takes a comprehensive look at the history of firecracker label artwork. It is just a selection of high quality pictures of the labels themselves. A fun coffee table book! Would recommend for the collector of labels or just someone like myself who appreciates the artwork in general.
